“This was our first time leaving our pets with someone other than family. I was a little apprehensive of using someone I didn’t know. But when I met Courtney I felt at ease. All of our animals took to her right away. Courtney was a pleasure to deal with. She provided us with frequent updates and showed our fur babies lots of love. She maintained our house and kept it safe. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I have dog shelter experience from 2018 (for 1 year) and I've been volunteering at the SPCA in Dartmouth since January 2024. I'm trained to understand dogs behaviours and needs. I grew up with small breed dogs, but I have the time, patience, and energy to work with any breed. I have dog-sat for neighbours and family members over the years, and I regularly walk my neighbour's pitbull. I'm able to brush, trim nails, and administer medication by request. I'm self employed and make my own schedule. I usually only work 4-5 hours in the afternoons so I'm free most mornings and evenings to care for your pets! I will follow any rules and diet you have in place pertaining to your home and pets. Your privacy and your pet's well-being are always my top priority.

“Rylee has house sat for us several times and always does a great job. Our dog Huck is blind and needs medication twice a day, and our cat Ume is shy, but Rylee handles both of them really well. She's reliable, responsible, and we’re always confident everything’s in good hands when she’s here. Highly recommend.”


About: I have had a special place in my heart for animals of all kind my whole life. I have a dog and three cats of my own and I have dogsat for friends and family on many occasions for prolonged periods. By day, I am a Pharmacy Technician, which means I’m patient, empathetic, and have medical experience (I’m very comfortable administering medication and injections). I work full time but I have the time to give your pet quality time and attention, walks, bathroom breaks, and whatever other special care they might need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and kitties of all attitudes. I will make sure your pet is cared for in the way that they’re used to being cared for so they feel comfortable and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

“Cassandra and Mark are amazing people! They really cared about Rosy and her overall comfort and happiness. They really tried to connect with Rosy immediately, so she could be comfortable with them. They provided regular updates and photos. Would definitely work with them again, and highly recommend!!”


About: I have 12+ years experience with dogs. And I currently own a 1 year old Golden Retriever who also loves animals! I will ensure your pets are safely taken care of up to your standards. Most of my late Afternoons are free throughout the week, and have 1-2 days completely free to take care of any animal. I work as a Massage Therapist so I am usually busy 5-6 hours a day, 4-6 days a week. I live in a 24 hour secure extremely pet friendly building. There is plenty of space for your dog to walk, or to take breaks outside of my home. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Sara has provided cat sitting services to me twice now. Both times she was absolutely amazing. My cat Nala loves her company. Sara is reliable and great to work with. Last time I had booked her, one of my flights was delayed by a day, and she was flexible and kind enough to do additional visits with Nala until I was able to get back. She is my go to now!”

“Jeff is amazing very considerate, very communicative left the house spotless, and he was amazing with Oscar who is a recent rescue and very skittish. I would definitely use him again. Very professional, arranging the meet and greet with Oscar, and allowing Oscar to acclimatize to him, and gain some trust with him. Very impressed.”


About: I love long walks on the beach and deep, meaningful conversations. I guess one-sided ones. I’m happy with all dogs, I have experience with most. I’m using Rover as a way to test out which breed I’ll want to adopt, and the side cash isn’t bad either. I’ll give excellent care to your furry friend with tons of pictures to prove it! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk your furry one! I eventually want to foster my own so Rover is my way of trying on all different breeds, while boosting my serotonin levels☺️ I have tons of dog toys, I can play around the house. I’ve given baths if needed. Each dog is so unique so I tend to adjust depending on their personality. If your dog is chill, I will lay with them. If they want to run, I will run with them. I absolutely LOVE walks and exploring the city, so rest assured your little one will be well ventured and given lots of pats!

“Julia is great, we could not have asked for any better. She is very easy to work with and she went above and beyond as we were stuck out of the country for an extra day and she came back and looked after our house and fur family. She sent pictures and answered all messages in a timely manner. She stayed at our house for the week and even washed the bedding so we could come home to a clean bed. Thanks Julia for the great job. You get 7 stars from us. Thanks again Jim and family.”


“Kaleigh is so great! She's responsive and checks in often to let me know my little man is doing well. I have had her come stay over on two occasions now, once for over a week! I have zero worries when I know Kaleigh is there.”


“Caitlyn looked after our 3 dogs while we were away on vacation. She did such a wonderful job and sent us pictures everyday. We felt so happy and relaxed knowing they were so well cared for. We would definitely hire her again!”


About: I have lived with cats and dogs my whole life. I always made sure my dogs get all the exercise they need. I would take them either swimming or walking and I have trained my dogs by myself. I am still new to this but I can assure you that I will give the best care to your pets. I love being around animals so, this is actually a fun thing for me to do. I am working part time at the moment so, I am available in all mornings and some days, the whole day! I have more than enough time for your pets. Unfortunately pets are not allowed in my current place but I can pet sit at your place and I will make sure I do everything to your liking. You just have to let me know.

Keisha E.Star Sitter
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Keshia for several years, and I can confidently say that her dedication to the care and well-being of animals is unmatched. As a passionate animal lover and responsible pet owner, Keshia brings a wealth of experience and compassion to everything she does. She owns two cats, whom she adores and treats like family, and she also volunteers her time at the SPCA, where she helps care for animals in need and supports adoption efforts. Keshia is reliable, patient, and attentive—qualities that are essential in a trusted dog walker. Her calm and confident demeanor puts both pets and their owners at ease. She understands animal behavior and takes the time to ensure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog’s individual needs. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same care and respect she gives her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Keshia. Your furry companions will be in excellent hands.”
